Since the government lowered the GST rate on small SUVs, the Tata Punch has become more reasonably priced. Depending on the variety, the Punch will cost between ₹80,000 and ₹85,000 less starting on September 22, 2025.
For consumers seeking an affordable SUV, this is a significant relief. The tax cut is part of the government’s initiative to boost car sales and make entry-level SUVs more affordable for Indian families.
Here is the old vs new ex-showroom price list for the Tata Punch after the GST rate was reduced to 18%.
| Variant (Petrol) | Old Price (₹ lakh) | New Price (₹ lakh) | Price Drop (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tata Punch Pure | 6.50 | 5.70 | 80,000 |
| Tata Punch Adventure | 7.20 | 6.40 | 80,000 |

From 22 September, the base variant, Tata Punch Pure, will now start at around ₹5.70 lakh, down from ₹6.50 lakh. The top-end Punch Creative Dual-Tone will cost ₹8.15 lakh, down from ₹9 lakh.
This brings the Punch into a much more affordable bracket and makes it a stronger rival to models like the Hyundai Exter and Maruti Brezza.

Earlier, the Tata Punch attracted a 28% GST plus cess, placing it in the higher tax bracket for SUVs. With the new revision, the government has reduced the GST to 18% on compact SUVs, such as the Punch.
This rate change is the main reason behind the sharp price drop.
The Tata Punch is now ₹80,000–85,000 cheaper across all variants. In percentage terms, the price cut is about 8% to 9.5% depending on the model. This reduction makes the Punch one of the most value-for-money SUVs in the under ₹ 10 lakh range.
The GST cut does not just help the Punch. Other Tata cars in the small SUV and compact segment also benefit. The models expected to see a similar reduction include the Tata Tiago EV, Tata Tigor EV, and entry-level trims of the Tata Nexon.
These changes will make Tata’s EVs and SUVs more competitive in the Indian market, where price plays a key role in buyer decisions.
